You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader

I just finished Mark Sanborn’s book, You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader.  Amazing book with so many great legendary quotes.  Here is a list of my favorite Sanborn quotes that I spotted while reading:

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

  • “The simple fact of having a title won’t make you a leader”
  • “An army of lions led by a lion is to be feared most of all, for it is unstoppable”
  • “When you do your job-any job-with initiative and determination to positively make a difference, you become a leader”
  • “We can’t give what we don’t have.  We can’t extend what we haven’t already accepted”
  • “Fame is based on what we get in life, but true greatness is based on what we give in life”
  • “Everyone who leads is involved in servant leadership”
  • “Small improvements lead to big results”
  • “You can’t lead others until you can first lead yourself”
  • “One of the quickest ways to burnout is to stop doing what you enjoy”
  • “If others can’t trust you, how can they follow you?”
  • “You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself”
  • “Don’t just act once; keep on taking action until you succeed”
  • “When you make the world better for others, you make the world better for yourself”
  • “Why we live is usually more important than how”
